Description

  The present invention relates to a simple toilet, and in particular, relates to a simple toilet that can be folded and stored compactly when not in use, and can be suitably used in outdoor leisure or emergency situations such as disasters. It is.

  In the case of outdoor leisure or emergency such as disasters, instead of excreting excretion such as urine and urine using a permanent toilet, bags such as plastic bags and plastic bags May be used to excrete. Here, simply placing the bag body on the ground or floor cannot stabilize the bag body in a state where the opening of the bag body is wide open, so the excrement cannot be excreted accurately in the bag, Inconvenient. In view of this, various simple toilets have been devised so that the bag body can be used in a stable state by attaching the bag body to a frame body serving as a frame for holding the posture of the bag body. And as such a simple toilet, the frame body is formed so as to be foldable with a paper material such as corrugated paper, etc., and can be folded compactly, easy to carry, and easy to store in case of emergency. Things have also been devised.

Utility Model Registration No. 3050144

  However, various simple toilets that have been proposed conventionally include a toilet seat so that a user can sit and use the toilet, and the toilet is bulky by the amount of the toilet seat. In addition, since the frame must be firmly formed so that it can withstand even when seated, a thick material is used or it is stacked in multiple layers when it is formed from a fragile material such as paper. Or a large amount of material must be used to secure the strength by bending at a large number of locations, and the amount of the entire frame is bulky.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said actual condition, and makes it a subject to provide the simple toilet which the whole frame body is not bulky, can fold, and can be stored more compactly than the conventional thing.

The main means taken by the present invention to solve the above problems are as follows:
“A frame that is formed in a frame shape and configured to be foldable,
A bag body that covers the frame body and contains excrement inside the frame body;
Simple toilet characterized by being used while straddling
It is.

  Since the simple toilet having the above configuration is used while straddling and squatting, the frame body only needs to function as a frame that can hold the bag body in a stable posture, and can be completely seated by the user. Does not require strength. For this reason, it becomes possible to form a frame easily with a raw material thinner than a conventional thing, or a material with little quantity. Therefore, according to the simple toilet having the above configuration, the entire frame body is not bulky and can be folded and stored more compactly than the conventional one.

  In addition, as a material for forming the frame, it is possible to adopt a plate-like or sheet-like material having a rigidity capable of being self-supported by being bent or curved and standing up. Examples thereof include paper, paper materials such as thick paper of drawing paper, resin materials such as polyethylene and vinyl chloride, lightweight metal materials such as aluminum alloys, and the like.

  Further, the frame body is not particularly limited as long as the covered bag body functions as a frame of the bag body that maintains a stable posture with the opening being largely opened. , Both end parts are made of plate-like materials that are connected in advance and are annular when assembled, and both ends are made of plate-like materials that are separated from each other, and both ends are connected to form a ring when assembled It is made of a flat plate material whose both ends are separated from each other, and even in an assembled state, both end portions are not connected to each other, such as a U-shape, U-shape or V-shape. The thing etc. which become a frame shape by which the part was open | released can be illustrated.

  On the other hand, as a bag body, what is necessary is just what was formed in the bag shape which one part opened with resin, such as polyethylene and vinyl chloride, or paper, but the water of excrement is outside. It is desirable to use a resin waterproof sheet or the like so as not to leak. Moreover, what comprises a water absorbing material, such as a water absorbing polymer, inside is desirable so that the water | moisture content of excrement can be hold | maintained inside a bag body.

In the means described above,
“The frame is provided with a projecting piece protruding upward”
It is good.

  For both men and women, urination may be scattered forward when squatting and excreting. On the other hand, in the simple toilet having the above-described configuration, the urine that is scattered forward when the squatting and excretion action is performed by arranging the projecting piece of the frame body so as to be positioned forward in use. Can be received by. Therefore, it can be set as the simple toilet which does not get dirty easily in use.

In the means described above,
"Simple toilet, characterized in that the bag is affixed to the frame"
It is good.

  In the simple toilet with the above configuration, since the bag body is attached to the frame body, the position of the bag body with respect to the frame body does not greatly shift when the bag body is covered with the bag body. Therefore, the bag can be accurately covered with the frame. In addition, since the frame body and the bag body become a simple toilet, when multiple people use, the bag body is removed from the frame body, a new bag body is attached, and the frame body is repeatedly used. Such a use mode is not made. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unsanitary use such that the frame body to which the filth is attached is covered with a new bag and repeatedly used.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a simple toilet in which the entire frame body is not bulky and can be folded and stored more compactly than the conventional one.

  Hereinafter, an example as an embodiment of the simple toilet concerning the present invention is explained in detail according to a drawing.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a simple toilet 100 according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the folded frame body 10 is assembled so that the forms of the frame body 10 and the bag body 20 are clear, and the disassembled state in which the bag body 20 is disposed above the assembled frame body 10 is shown. Show.

  The frame body 10 is formed of a single sheet of paper material having both end portions connected in advance by an adhesive, metal fittings, or the like, and in the assembled state, the frame body 10 has a substantially rectangular annular shape. . Further, the frame 10 will be described in detail later, but it is folded by a crease 10a provided at the corner of the substantially rectangular shape of the frame 10 and a crease 10b provided at the central portion of the long side of the substantially rectangular shape. It is folded compactly so that the whole becomes a small flat plate shape. In this example, corrugated paper is used as the paper material. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and cardboard or appropriate thick paper for drawing paper may be used. Further, not only paper materials but also other materials may be adopted.

  Further, the frame body 10 has a projecting piece 11 projecting upward at a portion corresponding to one of the short sides of the substantially rectangular shape, and the sticking medium 40 is disposed on the upper end portion of the projecting piece 11. The bag body 20 is stuck. Here, the bag body 20 is formed in a rectangular bag shape so that one side becomes the opening portion 21, and a part of the edge portion of the opening portion 21 is adhered to the frame body 10. In this example, a so-called “double-sided tape” having an adhesive on both sides is used as the sticking medium 40, but an adhesive, a fastener such as a staple, or the like may be used. Further, the means for attaching the bag body 20 to the frame body 10 is not limited to the means through the attachment medium 40, and when the bag body 20 is formed of resin, the bag body 20 itself is melted and bonded. It may be a so-called “welding” means.

  By the way, although detailed illustration is abbreviate | omitted, the bag 20 is a waterproof sheet formed of a resin such as polyethylene, a water absorbent sheet 30 formed of a water absorbent polymer, etc., and a water permeable sheet formed of a nonwoven fabric or a woven fabric. Are folded in order, the folded portion is the bottom, and the side portions are joined by welding. Therefore, the bag body 20 has a bag shape in which the outer surface is constituted by a waterproof sheet, the inner surface is constituted by a water permeable sheet, and the water absorbent sheet 30 is built between the waterproof sheet and the water permeable sheet. Further, in this example, on the side of the bag body 20, the dimension is appropriately unjoined from the end of the opening 21 toward the bottom, and the bag body 20 as a whole has an appropriate dimension from the opening 21. The cutout 22 is provided. In such a bag body 20, the opening 21 can be largely opened by the notch 22.

  Next, FIG. 2 shows a state in which the simple toilet 100 is formed by covering the assembled frame body 10 with the bag body 20.

  When covering the bag body 20 on the frame body 10, the bottom portion of the bag body 20 is placed inside the frame body 10 having an annular frame shape, the opening 21 of the bag body 20 is widened, and the frame body 10 Fold from inside to outside. At this time, as described above, since the bag body 20 can be opened largely by the notch 22, the bag body 20 can be smoothly attached to the frame body 10. In addition, since the bag body 20 is attached to the frame body 10, the bag body 20 is not greatly displaced from the frame body 10, and the bag body 20 can be accurately covered with the frame body 10.

  When the frame body 10 is thus covered with the bag body 20, the bottom portion of the bag body 20 fits inside the frame body 10, and in use, excrement is satisfactorily accommodated in the bag body 20 inside the frame body 20. be able to. Further, the frame body 10 is provided with a projecting piece 11, and the bag body 20 is attached to the outer surface of the projecting piece 11, so that it is folded back from the outside to the inside at the upper end of the projecting piece 11. The frame 10 is mounted so as to cover the protrusion 11. For this reason, in this simple toilet 100, the bag body 20 covers the entire frame body 10 including the projecting piece 11 of the frame body 10, and the bag body 20 as a whole is shaped like a Japanese-style toilet. Therefore, it is possible to accept urine scattered forward when squatting and excretion.

  If the water absorbent sheet 30 of the bag body 20 has a size that can be sufficiently extended to the outside of the frame body 10 in a state where the bag body 20 is covered with the frame body 10, urine or the like scattered on the outside of the frame body 10 It is preferable because it can absorb the filth. On the other hand, if the water absorbing sheet 30 of the bag body 20 is sized so that it can be neatly accommodated inside the frame body 10 with the bag body 20 placed on the frame body 10, the amount of the absorbent sheet 30 is reduced. Since the bulk can be reduced, and the entire simple toilet 100 can be folded and stored compactly, it is possible to achieve further compactness, which is preferable.

  By the way, in the simple toilet 100 of this example, since the bag body 20 is only stuck to a part of the frame body 10, the frame body 10 and the bag body 20 can be easily separated. Therefore, at the time of disposal, it is possible to obtain an advantage that it is easy to separate the bag body 20 formed of resin and the frame body 10 formed of paper.

  In addition, not only this but the bag body 10 may be affixed over several places or the perimeter of the frame body 10. FIG. In this case, the advantage that the bag body 20 can be more smoothly attached to the frame body 10 can be obtained. In particular, the outer surface of the bag body 20 is adhered to the inner surface of the frame body 10 along the circumferential direction, and the state of the frame body 10 is either the folded state or the assembled state. When the bottom portion of the bag body 20 is always positioned inside the frame body 10, the bag body 20 is automatically mounted inside the frame body 10 by assembling the frame body 10 from the folded state. It will be in the state. Therefore, the procedure for assembling the simple toilet 100 can be simplified, which is preferable.

  Moreover, in this example, as shown in FIG. 1, the crease | fold 11a is provided in the lower end of the protrusion 11 of the frame 10, and in the state which folded the protrusion 11 and folded the frame 10, Further downsizing is attempted. However, in such a structure, there is a possibility that the projecting piece 11 will fall down carelessly. Therefore, in this example, as shown in FIG. 3, a holding piece 12 is provided, and the holding piece 12 prevents the protruding piece 11 from inadvertently falling down. Specifically, the holding piece 11 is formed so as to be bendable separately from the entire frame body 10 by a cut provided in a part of the frame body 10. Moreover, the holding piece 12 has an insertion part at the tip. When preventing the protrusion 11 from falling, the holding piece 12 is bent toward the protrusion 11 (arrow A in FIG. 3), and the insertion portion 13 is inserted into the insertion port 14 provided in the protrusion 11. . Even if the protruding piece 11 is likely to fall down, the holding piece 12 can stably hold the posture of the protruding piece 11.

  Next, the state in which the frame 10 is folded will be described with reference to FIG. In the drawing, for convenience of explanation, the bag body 20 attached to the frame body 10 is omitted so that the folded state of the frame body 10 becomes clear.

  When the frame 10 is folded, first, the holding of the protruding piece 11 by the holding piece 12 described above is released, and the protruding piece 11 of the frame 10 is moved to the crease at the lower end portion as shown in FIG. Bend outward along 11a (arrow A in FIG. 4). Further, the substantially rectangular long side portion of the frame 10 is bent inward along the corner fold line 10a and the central fold line 10b (arrow B in FIG. 4). Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, the entire frame body 10 has a substantially flat plate shape that is about a short side portion of a substantially rectangular shape and fits in a compact manner.

  After the frame 10 is folded compactly as shown in FIG. 5, the bag 20 is further wrapped around the entire frame 10, for example, both side portions are shown along the two-dot chain line in the drawing. Folded to the 10 side (arrow A in FIG. 5), the bottom part is folded back to the frame 10 side along the two-dot chain line in the figure (arrow B in FIG. 5), etc. At times, the entire toilet 100 can be stored compactly. And when using the simple toilet 100, the folding method mentioned above is reversely developed, the frame body 10 is assembled, and the assembled frame body 10 is covered with the bag body 20. Here, since the frame body 10 has an annular shape by connecting both end portions of the flat paper material, the folded frame body 10 is separated from the annular opposing portions. As a result, the frame 10 can be easily assembled.

  In addition, the method of folding the frame 10 is not limited to the above, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be folded as shown in FIG. In this example, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the protruding piece 11 is bent outward along the fold line 11a from the assembled state of the frame 10 as shown in FIG. 6 (a) in the same manner as described above. Although there is (arrow A in FIG. 6), the bending method of the long side portion of the frame 10 is different. That is, in this example, the long side portion of the frame 10 is folded outward along the fold line 10a at the corner and the fold line 10b at the center (arrow B in FIG. 6). After the long side portion is bent in this manner, the long side portion is further bent inward along the corner fold line 10a as shown in FIG. 6C (arrow C in FIG. 6). Even if it is such a bending method, the whole frame 10 can be stored compactly. Although detailed description is omitted, the frame body 10 may be provided with other forms of folds and folded along the folds.

  Next, specific dimensions of the frame body 10 and the bag body 20 will be described.

  The overall height of the frame 10 excluding the projecting pieces 11 is 30 to 250 mm (more preferably, 50 to 200 mm), and the short side of the substantially rectangular shape is 100 to 300 mm (more preferably, 150 to 250 mm). ) If the long side is 200 to 600 mm (more preferably 300 to 500 mm), which is twice that of the long side, the posture of the bag body 10 can be stably held, and the user can easily use it while straddling. Moreover, about the protrusion 11 of the frame 10, it is about the same as the width | variety and height of the part corresponded to the short side in the frame 10, and is 100-300 mm (preferably 150-250 mm). 11 is not unnecessarily large, and is suitable for folding and storing compactly.

  In particular, when the frame 10 has an overall height of 60 to 100 mm excluding the projecting piece 11, the short side of the substantially rectangular shape is 125 to 175 mm, and the long side is 250 to 350 mm, which is twice that length, is inconvenient to use. The size of the toilet is sufficiently ensured, but the toilet 100 is relatively small. Since such a simple toilet 100 can be folded and stored in an extremely compact manner, the utility value as a portable toilet 100 that is used by one or two small people in an emergency in an outdoor leisure or the like. Excellent.

  In addition, the frame 10 has an overall height of 125 to 175 mm excluding the projecting pieces, a short side of a substantially rectangular shape of 175 to 225 mm, and a long side of 350 to 450 mm, which is twice as long as that, which is uselessly large. However, it is a relatively large toilet 100. Since such a simple toilet 100 can accommodate a large amount of excretion excreted by a large number of people of 3 or more, or a large number of uses of 3 or more, the simple toilet 100 prepared for an emergency such as a disaster. Moreover, it is excellent in utility value as a simple toilet 100 used for care of elderly people and sick people.

  On the other hand, the size of the bag body 20 may be a necessary and sufficient size with respect to the assembled frame body 10, and the depth from the opening 21 to the bottom excludes the projecting pieces 11 of the frame body 10. The size of the entire circumference around the bag body 10 may be approximately the same as the entire circumference of the frame body 10 by 2 to 5 times (more preferably, 3 to 4 times) the entire height. Further, the size of the notch 22 of the opening 21 is 25 to 75% (more preferably 40 to 50%) with respect to the depth from the edge of the opening 21 to the bottom of the bag body 20. In this case, a sufficient depth as a bag can be ensured, and the opening 21 can be opened sufficiently large.

  As mentioned above, although the example of the simple toilet concerning this invention was shown, this invention is not restricted to this, In the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, an appropriate change is possible.

  For example, the frame body is not limited to being formed of a single sheet of paper material, and a frame body may be configured by connecting two or more paper materials to each other. In addition, the method of connecting a plurality of flat paper materials to each other or connecting both ends of the paper materials constituting the frame to each other is not limited to a method using an adhesive or a fastener. A cutout may be provided at each of the connected parts, and the cutouts may be engaged with each other. Alternatively, an insertion piece may be provided on one side and an insertion opening provided on the other side. You may connect by inserting a piece. Further, the frame body is not limited to a ring shape formed in advance, but may be a ring shape when assembled. Furthermore, the frame body does not become a ring shape even when assembled, and has a frame shape partially opened. It may be a thing.
